Napoleon, however, was preoccupied with the 30,000 Prussians attacking his flank and did not release troops to aid Ney’s attack until after 7 p.m. At 6 p.m., the French under Marshal Michel Ney managed to capture a farmhouse in the allied center and began decimating Wellington’s troops with artillery.
Meanwhile, the Prussians gradually arrived and put pressure on Napoleon’s eastern flank.
In repeated attacks, Napoleon failed to break the center of the allied center.
